One Piece's Life

Many years ago, in a not-so-spacious room, there was a homemade stroller placed in front of the bed. The old man looked at the sleeping baby kindly and looked at the baby's orange hair. The baby's hair had not yet grown up. While sleeping, he would gently wave his two little hands from time to time. The old man himself had no children. More than 10 years ago, as a foreigner, he fell on a street on Naru Island. Just when he was about to starve to death, a figure saved him and recommended a job to him.

Now, the old man's hair is still black. He has never smiled in this naval base. Tonight, when he looked at the baby in the stroller, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. The baby had been crying before, and the old man comforted him. It took a long time for the baby to fall asleep. Seeing the baby's thumb on his mouth, the old man took off his work clothes, hung his coat in front of the door, took off his hat and put it in front of the bed. The old man squatted down and blew out the An oil lamp. Just like that, the old man rolled up the quilt and looked sideways in the direction of the stroller...

On this day, the old man came back from vigil. When he just walked to the house, the little figure in the house took the initiative to open the door. The weather was still a bit cold at this time. The little orange-haired boy pouted and said: "Grandpa George, Why are you coming back so late today? Klaus...I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am already hungry."

The old man in white uniform picked up the little boy in front of him and put his face against the left side of the little boy's face. The old man said very affectionately: "Klaus, I'm sorry, grandpa... I'm a little late coming back tonight, don't worry. , the food has been brought to you, and of course your favorite pudding, let’s go inside first.”

This year, little Klaus is 3 years old and has understood some things. Every time Grandpa George is on duty, he will be locked in the house alone. Of course, food will be prepared, and little Klaus who stays in the house will also Learn the words in books.

There are two small tables in the room. There are a few books on one table. There is also a bookshelf on the wall behind. The other table is a simple dining table. Little Claus took it very politely. Little Claus sat in a small chair and enjoyed the food quietly brought by Grandpa George tonight.

Old George looked at little Klaus in front of him and seemed a little reluctant to eat. Old George smiled and said: "It is a good habit to eat slowly, but Klaus, you don't need to pay too much attention to this now. , finish eating quickly, grandpa... I will have something important to tell you later."

When Little Claus heard Grandpa George's words, he immediately ate up all the food quickly. This time, his favorite pudding did not taste seriously. He picked up the towel aside and wiped the corners of his mouth. Little Klaus didn't wait for Grandpa George to speak first, but he started to complain: "Grandpa, Klaus reads the words in the book carefully every day, of course. Those things don’t know me yet. Grandpa George... next time you go to work... can you take me with you? Klaus wants to be with Grandpa George all the time."

Old George picked up the hot water bottle. He poured a cup of hot water and took a sip. Then he gently placed it next to the table. Old George squatted down and picked up Little Claus, and by the way, he also picked up Little Claus’s blue shirt. He took off his colored shoes, and the water in the hot water bottle was at just the right temperature. Looking at a small basin next to him, Old George moved the chair where Little Claus was sitting next to him, and he poured it into the hot water bottle. Old George, who was sitting on the chair, put Little Claus's feet into the warm water. He rubbed the two little feet with his right hand and sat on his left leg holding Little Claus with his left hand.

A few minutes later, old George said: "Klaus, you are 3 years old now. Grandpa is going to let you start exercising outside the house every day. Of course it is not an ordinary exercise method. You may also be a navy in the future." , of course you can’t fall behind on your homework, Klaus, can you do it?”

Feeling the warmth from the soles of his feet, little Klaus wrapped his hands around old George's left hand and said excitedly: "Don't worry, Grandpa George, Klaus will definitely be able to do it and become as outstanding as you, Grandpa George." The navy is just that Grandpa George, Klaus’s father and mother...do they really not want Klaus?"

Old George paused for a while. He gently raised his two little feet with his right hand, picked up a dry towel and wiped them carefully. Half a minute later, Old George put Little Klaus on the bedside. Looking at the somewhat stubborn Little Klaus, Old George still responded with the same words: "Grandpa... I don't know who Klaus's father and mother are. Who, grandpa picked you up on the beach. But even so, what does it matter? Grandpa George will always be with Klaus. Okay, let’s not talk about this topic for now. Since Klaus has agreed, then Get ready to exercise well starting tomorrow, it’s a little late, so go to bed first.”

Every time before old George returned to the house, he would take a shower in the public bathroom in advance. He hugged Little Klaus and covered him with a quilt. Not long after, both of them fell asleep...

Since then, Little Klaus has started a long training process. In the first half month, Little Klaus's training program was just to run 5 laps around the perimeter of the naval base. For the 3-year-old Little Klaus It was still a bit reluctant. The two marines guarding the entrance of the base often watched their commander bring a little boy. Both of them were very curious. However, seeing the little boy running very quietly, the two marines had no idea what he was doing. With Lieutenant George gaining a new understanding, they continue to quietly attend to their duties...

Five years later, Klaus Chiyue passed the test of the navy and was finally promoted to sergeant. During these five happy years, Klaus spent most of his time clinging to Grandpa George. Once a ship appeared at the dock. Grandpa George led nearly half of the navy in the base to guard it. Klaus was among them. Looking at the ship, Klaus felt that this ship was a little different from the navy's warships. It is very beautiful, and the most special thing is the people on this ship. Looking at them wearing various costumes, each of them was holding some goods in their hands, and some were carrying small wooden barrels on their shoulders.

Looking at the people dressed up by these businessmen, Klaus came into contact with people from outside Naru Island for the first time. Listening to the businessmen mentioning that the outside world is very big, Klaus was very curious, but when he thought about leaving here, he would have to fight with them. Grandpa George left, and Klaus immediately gave up the idea...

Lieutenant George is not worried that these businessmen will do something stupid on Naru Island, because the people on Naru Island are not ordinary people. If they get serious about fighting... they will be very scary.

Lieutenant George and his men were preparing to return to the base. He suddenly stopped and looked at the direction that the businessmen were heading towards, which should be Tina Town. So, Lieutenant George ordered the others to return to the base first. Old George turned around and raised his right hand to point in a certain direction. He glanced at Klaus for a few times and seemed to be distracted. He smiled and said to Klaus: " Speaking of grandpa, I...haven't taken Klaus to play on this island yet. Today grandpa will take you to the town to eat, and of course he will buy some wine back. Let's go."

After more than five years of training, Klaus followed closely behind Grandpa George. His relaxed look seemed to want to show off in front of old George. After the two entered Tina Town, Klaus looked at the buildings in surprise. He had heard soldiers talking about this town a long time ago, but it was still not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes...

"Why is this town so beautiful? Grandpa was just like you when he first came here. Okay, grandpa is a little hungry now. Let's go to the restaurant to eat first."

That night, Klaus lay on a small bed and whispered to the other big bed: "Grandpa George, what is the world outside Naru Island like? The books I have read over the years have not mentioned the outside world. world, what kind of world is it?”

"This... this, the outside world is very dangerous. If Klaus leaves Naru Island now, I guarantee you will die in less than a day. For little Klaus... it's still too early. "How come the books on grandpa's bookshelf don't mention books about the outside world? Klaus, didn't you secretly take a look at the books on the top of the bookshelf?"

"No...Klaus didn't peek at those books. Besides...Klaus couldn't get them. Grandpa, why did you say that?"

"Really? But it doesn't matter whether you have read those books or not. Regarding the outside world, Grandpa, I don't know how to describe it. Grandpa is not a local on Naru Island. Now Grandpa has stayed on Naru Island." Grandpa is satisfied that he can continue to live on Naru Island after so many years. When will Little Klaus feel that his strength is enough, then... then go, Grandpa, I won't live for a few more years. Don't take care of me these years, grandpa..I am very happy and have lived long enough."

"No, Klaus will never be separated from Grandpa George. Klaus will always stay with Grandpa George."

"Is that so? Little Klaus is really grandpa's favorite grandson. I really want to see Klaus grow up soon. Although grandpa's eyesight has not been very good in recent years, grandpa has seen your body, little Klaus." ..It seems that you are not strong enough. Also, your shooting skills have been a bit inaccurate recently. Have you been lazy recently?"

"No way..I train according to Grandpa George's requirements every day..It just hurts..Grandpa, can you please stop hitting my head with your military cap?"

Looking at the empty plate in front of him, Mickey, who had been full for a long time, glanced strangely at the little navy man. He had only eaten half of the egg fried rice and was staring at the egg fried rice, choking with the spoon in his mouth. As she sat there, tears flowed from her beautiful eyes, and tears fell on the edge of the table...
